Curate Your Indoor Landscape With These:

Designed to layer beautifully in any room. Choose a piece as your design anchor, then build your custom pottery collection with these complementary companions:

The Large matte-and-glossy porcelain plant pot in White is part of the Dyad line, built on a single idea: a matte body paired with a glossy glaze. Matte does the quiet work and the gloss gets the attention, and the line where they meet is the part you will keep touching. Neither finish is especially interesting alone; together they are difficult to put back down.

A matte body under a glossy glaze, with a center drainage hole and a matching saucer. At full size it suits a floor or statement plant that has earned the room. The drainage hole keeps water moving instead of pooling at the roots, and the matching saucer keeps it off the surface underneath, so the pot works as well on a windowsill as it does on a shelf.

White started everything here, and on some level has never fully forgiven us for what happened next.

Potting Tips

  1. Repot in the evening.
  2. Wait 1–2 days after watering, then repot.
  3. Buy potting mix. Not backyard dirt.
  4. Move the top layer of soil from the old pot into the new one. It's a little ecosystem.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger.
  6. Soil line sits an inch below the rim. Leca or small rocks at the bottom for drainage.

Pot Care instructions
  1. Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  2. Glazed pots are dipped and fired in the kiln — they are sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
  3. For pots with saucers empty the saucer periodically. Standing water in the saucer defeats the purpose of having a drainage hole, which is a thing we feel strongly about.
  4. Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

White: Matte Does the Quiet Work. Glossy Gets the Attention.

The White Dyad Large was the original. A matte porcelain body, a glossy white glaze, the pairing we had been a sucker for longer than we would like to admit and finally committed to at scale. It was enough. It was, by any reasonable measure, finished.

Then someone held up an olive glaze next to it, and someone else held up a soft pink, and the room went quiet in the way rooms go quiet when everyone is thinking the same thing and nobody wants to say it first. White started everything. White has never fully forgiven us for what happened next, and frankly we understand.

Underneath the pairing it is a working pot: glazed porcelain, a centre drainage hole, and a matching saucer so water leaves the soil and stays off the furniture. The glaze seals the body, which is exactly why the drainage hole matters as much as the finish you actually came for.

On a shelf the pairing does the quiet work: the matte side holds the light, the glossy side hands it back, and the eye keeps moving between them without ever quite settling. It is the rare pot that reads as a decision rather than a default, which is most of what we are trying to make, and it is the reason people who came in for something plain tend to leave with this instead.

Potting a plant with Chive

  1. It's best to repot your plant in the evening. Trust us, we know.
  2. Repot 1–2 days after watering — keeps the same rhythm going and won't shock it.
  3. Potting soil is not the dirt from your backyard. Go buy good, nutrient-rich soil.
  4. The top layer of soil in your current pot should be the top layer in the new pot too. It's a little ecosystem your plant likes.
  5. Never go more than one inch bigger than your existing pot. "It'll grow into it" is not correct, and you will kill it.
  6. Keep the soil line about an inch below the top of the pot. Add some leca or small rocks to the bottom for better aeration.

The Ultimate Repotting Guide

For those who have killed a plant. Or several. Or, frankly, many.

Before you put a plant into your new pot, you have to get it out of the nursery pot — a process that ends badly more often than any gardening influencer will admit. We wrote a full guide: when to repot (early spring, and not when you're feeling impulsive in October), which soil to use, how to tell your plant is root-bound, and how to avoid the three mistakes that kill perfectly healthy plants within a week of a well-intentioned repotting.

Water It Like You Mean It

A plant in the Dyad Large in White is only as healthy as how it gets watered, and a proper can or mister settles that, built to live on the counter rather than hide.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Dyad White porcelain pot good for?

The Dyad is a porcelain pot for indoor plants. It works well for pothos, snake plants, peace lilies, philodendrons, and small ferns and suits modern, boho, and minimalist rooms. As a large porcelain pot, the Dyad fits a shelf, sill, or desk and pairs cleanly with the rest of the Chive pot range. This listing is the White colourway.

The pot is sorted. Now what goes in it?

Shido seeds come vacuum-sealed, non-GMO, and packaged well enough that people keep the packets after the seeds are gone. Which is either a design success or a problem, depending on how you look at it.
